Tap water or purified water?

I have read a lot of caresheets for bps and I have seen a lot say only to use purified water as drinking water for a snake.

I was wondering what do you guys use tap or purified water?

I have been using purified because texas water is ver hard water and it has a lot of chlorine and lime in it. So i dont wanna risk it hurting my boy in any way.

As long as there is no chlorine either is fine.

Here we have pretty hard water as well, but my pets and I have been drinking it for most of our lives, and we're all doing fine. :confuzd: I'd say, if your city water is fine for you to drink, it's probably fine for your pets.

I only use Moland Springs water for my snakes...

It's a blessing and a curse.

Tap water, me and all my critters, and we are all fine.

unless you have exceptionally hard water, I wouldn't worry about it. any chlorine in tap water evaporates entirely after about an hour of sitting out, which is more time than my snakes need to muster the nerve to come drink it after I change it. I would love to be able to use reverse osmosis water, but I'd also like to be in the next tax bracket that would make that feasible in the first place.

Plain ole tap water.

It depends on how good the water quality is where you live. If it's good enough for you to drink, it's good enough for your snake.

I use the special sparkling san antonio tap water from our bathroom sink ;):rofl::rofl:

I import my water from a secret spring in France where it's both blessed by a priest and ritually purified by a Pagan high priestess (Just to cover my bases). It's then shipped to me in special bottles that block all light. It's not cheap or easy, but my snakes are worth the extra effort.

Of course when I can't get my hands on the secret double blessed French water, I just buy whatever's on sale at Sam's...

I use the water out of the fridge. I fill my water bottles every night and use them to mist and fill bowels the next evening. Then start over again this give a chance for and chlorine to evaporate out of the water :)

I use tap water. We have well water and i drink it outta the tap. If its fine for me its fine for the snakes

Tap Water for everyone, except the saltwater tank that gets distilled or RO.

Tap water. There's no evidence it's any worse for reptiles than it is for us. They are not amphibians.

Ugh the tap water in Phoenix is disgusting, I won't drink it period, I'd really rather not even cook with it. I can't really afford to buy bottled water for everything though so for the snakes I use a dechlorinator, which seems to work fine. I really want to eventually get a sink filter but I haven't yet.

Tap water from should be as long as its clear, and without a foul smell! I use tap but nothing wrong with bottle water either!
